OUR PAIN THEIR FAULT

>> Brits paying price of disastrous mini-Budget >> Tax & bills hike sparks worst living standards

- JOHN STEVENS, BEN GLAZE

MILLIONS of people battered by the disastrous Tory mini-Budget were yesterday warned they face even more financial misery.

Jeremy Hunt stepped up the war on ordinary people with his Autumn Statement as we pay the price for Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss’s economic blunders eight weeks ago.

With officials declaring the country is already in recession, the Chancellor targeted those struggling on Universal Credit and benefits, while handing tax breaks to bankers.

He unveiled a brutal £55billion package of spending cuts, tax hikes and raised energy bills. Forecasts show living standards this year will suffer the biggest fall since records began in 1956.
